of denominations that includes Mormonism and Protestants flourished up to today.So
in short this religions evolved
in accordance to the scientific knowledge
of the age or era they existed.If you graph the growth
of knowledge, it shows a sharp increase
in the last 500 years, forcing the dominant religions at that time to reinterprete their dogmas, today this traditional religions are becoming obsolete and has to evolve to survive.But first they have to unify against atheism.
